Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

OK, guys, I'm in LA right now with gigs tomorrow tomorrow night and a private one on Saturday, so I need to start thinking.....

THE GRAND QUESTION......  

Do I Change My Trip and Come Home??  I just heard about this storm hours ago...  If I'm likely to get 18"+ I'll do it.  Less than 18 I'll have to miss it.   

 

I can probably just book a flight Friday night on SW now and cancel late since I don't lose the money.   BUT is getting in mid-day Friday too late?  

I don't wanna make your life decisions for you, but it seems like you have a decent shot at 18"+

I won TQs contest on a couple of storms. Don S was the best

TQ is still around. Still runs contests although I no longer participate. Year (2) I won the seasonal forecast, and a storm or two.

Captured in a good spot!  LBOT

We really don’t need him pounding his keyboard in anger if he returns to RI and manages ‘only’ 14” when he was looking for 24”.

IMHO the best euro run yet for the widest audience 

[weathafella]

Load blown on time.

976 just east of the elbow.

I prefer LBIVWIGEFTDO: Load blown in vicinity, which is good enough for three days out 

[weathafella]

972 peak

My favorited AFD ever was the one from @wdrag on Sunday evening, March 4, 2001. Never forget reading that after I got home from my part time shift at MB

It gives me wood and Im not ashamed to say it  I had never seen a storm so eloquently described in meteorological terms and it worked out.  I do recall a huge cutoff in snow totals and people being pissed.  But ****ing hell it was huge!!  My ex wifes car was buried in 3 ft in the Andover T parking lot!  I was so happy to dig it out.

You get to sleep on the wet spot

Lucky me

Yep, as anticipated from that southern shortwave, a slightly later and more east capture vs. 12z

Looks like it gets to BM, then crawls north just east of the elbow

A (desired) tic east compared to 12z, and a great solution for much of New England

 

[weathafella]

A magnificent euro run.   Hopefully correct.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Fairly big move ne with later mid level closure. Expected this but it’s a little nerving it moved towards the trashy east solutions so quickly.

Uk and to a lesser extent gfs miss the capture.

I knew that LBSW was BS.

Literally tracks directly north from BM between hr 90-96 as it gets captured

I think some can start getting excited for something potentially historic. The storm forms in roughly 72 hours.

We take! That’s glorious for everyone. 

[CoastalWx]

That would be a deffy from maybe Kevin or just east to Ray.

Can someone send some info on 10m winds?

Well, it didn't totally work out...he described 10' drifts and a storm equal to or exceeding 1978, but phase was less proficient than expected.
